  • Summary

  • “PRACTICING with HEART goes a hell of a long way.”YOU HAVE A GIFT. A natural gift, and the gift of having your degree. How are you going to use it for your own benefit and to make the world a better place?In episode 8 of the VETERINARY HUMANS podcast I welcome Dr Hubert Hiemstra, the host of the insanely popular veterinary podcast “The Vet Vault”. If you’re a listener of The Vet Vault and want to know more about your host, then listen in…In the first 10 years of vet work Hubert didn’t enjoy being a vet. He said “I wasted opportunities to be happy”. He learnt that it was up to him to do something about it, he either had to change his mindset, or change his life situation. He did both. Hubert took sole responsibility for his life; he started a business and began to consume podcasts and books with a positive/ growth mindset. So, who is Hubert now… He says “I am a work in progress”.Hubert gave me so much to think about…• Students, listen in for Hubert's tips on how to create a better life. • The dangers of discharging parts of yourself even in an all-encompassing vet degree. • What riders and elephants have to do with the cognitive and emotional brain. • What open loops have to do with goal setting. • Giving yourself room to geek out. Hubert pulled me up on the dangers of expecting to “save lives”. It is simply not realistic. What I should be doing is LOOKING FOR MOMENTS OF IMPACT… the moments that CHANGE lives, PROVIDE RELIEF, COMFORT and REASSURANCE. Hubert left you with two things to ponder…
    1. An activity... to look at the things that upset you and think about how you can ACT WITH HEART, not out of fear.
    AND
    1. A quote… “Step one, don’t sweat the small stuff. Step two, everything is small stuff.”
